After which, Joey gleefully shouts “Second verse / Same as the first” over handclaps (!) and while it seems like a throwaway, it’s also awesome, and topped later on when Joey gleefully exclaims — over more handclaps, natch — “Third verse / Different from the first”

Third verse, different from the first Jackie is a punk Judy is a runt They both went down to Frisco Joined the SLA

And by the way, that third verse happens after a quick bridge which features Tommy smashing his cymbals while Dee Dee goes “oooooooooooh oooooooooooooooh”. Oh and did I mention that all of this happens in a mere 92 seconds?

Why is this Ramones song different from all other Ramones songs? Dee Dee’s vocals. While Dee Dee eventually sang lead on songs — shit, CJ eventually sang lead on songs — his little flourish to turn “Ice Capades” into “Ice Capaaaeaaaeeeds” is utter genius, as is “SLAaaaaa-aaeeeeeeeee” in the third verse.

Also, while the song is called “Judy is a Punk,” nowhere in the lyrics do they actually say that.
